Hightower Falls in The Historic Antioch Community

Hightower Falls

It's hard to talk about the Antioch Community, without mentioning Hightower Falls. There is an AMAZING history to be told about the iconic Falls, and it grows deeper with each story told and fact remembered.  The oral and written history that I know of dates back to the late 1820s, if I remember correctly. That's 200 years' worth of local history about the people and places that have shaped us native "Antiochans" to be proud of who and where we came from.  Most of Polk County will recognize the photo below.  It was believed to have been taken at Hightower Falls around 1900. I am eager to read the memories you have. Please share any knowledge you can about this Historic Place!
